    I need help! I can't possibly go shopping for clothes by myself. I went to an op shop today, but the usual "nah, I don't really need that..."-mindset took over and so nothing came of it.

    Anyone wanna help me out?

    Sweet. What suburb has the highest concentration of Opshops? I know there is one down at Northlands mall but apart from that I wouldnt have a clue where they are.

    How did this get into an opshop kinda party when its supposed to be a cocktail party where guys are supposed to wear posh casual gear or suits?

    It's an opshop cocktail party according to the OP. So I guess it's about finding something cheap and cheesy yet stylish and tasteful.

    As for opshops there's some in the central city, one on Ferrymead that I know off and most likely shitloads of others.

    Can anyone post up where the biggest opshop of them all is in Christchurch? The opshop to end all opshops if you know what I mean.

    It doesn't matter how big it is, you just need to find the place where they have what you want in the size that you need. The one on Ferrymead is quite big... Went browsing, but nothing immediately drew my attention...

    Try the clothing warehouse on Shands Rd in Hornby.
    About an Acre of clothing of all sorts.
    Ithink that the opp shop idea was really fro those girls who didnt have dresses that would do for the occasion.
    An evening dress for a coctail party can cost as much as a set of leathers, so finding a really stilish dress at an opp shop is a great idea for the girls.
    As for the guys, a black suit coat, button shirt and tie with good casual pants and dress shoes id the go, bad taste is to arrive in jeans or cammo gear.
    Dark colours are for winter, light colours for summer.
    The tie is a must for the men, and cannot be removed for the entrie event ( unless they are weylaid by a sexy waitress, then we dont want too much information)
    Dress shoes like hush puppies, not boots or sports shoes no matter how flash or exspensive they are.
    As for the shirt colour, look at what colours are in for mens fashions at the moment and try to match a tie to that.
    Be glad its not a "Black tie" party because that would mean "tails"
    or a "white tie" party for that would mean white shirt and tie, black vest and pants and patient leather shoes!

    Any body can add to this it they have other ideas,

    if not I'll be in my pinstripes

    see you all Sat

    and dont forget the finger food and drinks.......not beer!
